Affliction.

THREE - "The situation you've created"

Carmen

"You dropped this" Braydon began explaining, I watched as he reached into his pocket pulling out a short silver ID bracelet. Trysten got it for me for christmas last year. "Oh, thank you" I mumbled before snatching it off him, "You should go." He looked up from his feet making direct eye contact with me, "Right, wouldn't want your boyfriend to get jealous again" Braydon turned around and began making his way towards his car. "Oh my god!" I squealed. Instantly he spun around and began looking over me as he tried to determine if I was okay. "What?"he asked slightly confused at my little outburst. Quickly I ran down the stairs making my way over to his car. "I can't believe you own this car, I thought it belonged to your Alpha or something." I ran my hands over the hood, "I knew it didn't belong to Eldon, because he's never been good at the whole car thing." I explained as I admired the scratch free surface. Braydon chuckled from behind me as I continued checking out his Lamborghini Aventador. "If the situation was different I'd take you out for a spin" he began before I quickly cut him off, "you mean the situation that you created." 

"Look you don't understand" he began, "there are reasons behind my actions, I know it sounds ridiculous but its the truth. I know what I said hurt your feelings but this'll work so much better if you hate me" I sighed, "look you should just go, I'm expecting someone" I told him. He quickly climbed into his car, he rolled down his window and stuck his head out slightly, "Will you be at school next week?" he asked "I don't know, but don't go acting like you care, my opinion of you is still the same." that was the last thing that I said before turning around and walking inside. He left a few minutes after that. I began to feel rather cold and empty, knowing it was just the pull of the mate bond I brushed it off, Trysten would be here soon anyways. The mate bond was put in place to attract mates physical, making your wolf forms wanting to come forward and begin the breeding process immediately after meeting, In the rare cases where one wolf would be away from their mate for a long period of time both sides would begin to feel the constant pull wanting to draw them closer so that they could be together. Braydon and I didn't have that. Our pull was faint, the closes we've ever been physically were the few times he'd grabbed my wrists, we haven't involved ourself in the others life at all, we ignored the pull. I've read that even though the pull is easy to ignore at first over time it becomes a lot harder. 

"Finally" I smile as I grab Trystens wrist leading him up the stairs to my bedroom. Instantly his lips were on mine as he guided us towards my bed setting us down gently. After our heated make out session began coming to an end Trysten had moved his hands down lower than my waist, resting just under the elastic of my underwear. "Not today" I sighed as I pushed his hands away. Trysten let out a threatening growl, I crawled out from underneath him and made my way to my bedroom door. "I think you should go" I said softly, he grabbed his shirt and began putting it on, once he'd put his shirt back on he walked up towards me. He forcefully grabbed my jaw, enough to leave a bruise or two if I didn't heal at a fast pace . "You're such a fucking tease Carmen" he hissed, "you're hurting me" I said as I attempted to pry his hands off my jaw. He let go, his eyes becoming much lighter at the realisation of what he'd just done his eyes widened and he began apologising. "You should just go." He walked out of my room, grabbing his shoes at the front  door before leaving. I closed my door, I slid down the wall, pressing my head into my knees I let out a breath. I stayed in this position for a few moments before I realised my mother would be home soon. I quickly began covering up the already red marks on my jaw with make up before re-tying my hair.

"Carmen, are you ready to go?" mom called out from downstairs, quickly grabbing my phone and wallet I began making my way downstairs. It only took ten minutes to get to the pack house,  a pack house is a place were the older and more incapable wolves often live along with pack members who don't have any family member or that can't afford to live independently, family usually move out of the pack house and into houses within the vicinity. The pack house was where our pack doctor was located, she did small things like regular check ups etc.
